Hardware Requirements

TODO: document connections, show photos - Andy confirms it works (Teensy++ only)...
need to find someone local with a DMX dimmer pack so I can test and take a good photo.

Basic Usage

DmxSimple.write(channel, brightness);

Set the DMX channel (1 to 512) to brightness (0 to 255)

Example Program

/* Welcome to DmxSimple. This library allows you to control DMX stage and** architectural lighting and visual effects easily from Arduino. DmxSimple** is compatible with the Tinker.it! DMX shield and all known DIY Arduino** DMX control circuits.**** DmxSimple is available from: http://code.google.com/p/tinkerit/** Help and support: http://groups.google.com/group/dmxsimple *//* To use DmxSimple, you will need the following line. Arduino will** auto-insert it if you select Sketch > Import Library > DmxSimple. */
#include <DmxSimple.h>
voidsetup() {
/* The most common pin for DMX output is pin 3, which DmxSimple ** uses by default. If you need to change that, do it here. */DmxSimple.usePin(3);
/* DMX devices typically need to receive a complete set of channels ** even if you only need to adjust the first channel. You can ** easily change the number of channels sent here. If you don't ** do this, DmxSimple will set the maximum channel number to the ** highest channel you DmxSimple.write() to. */DmxSimple.maxChannel(4);
}
voidloop() {
int brightness;
/* Simple loop to ramp up brightness */for (brightness = 0; brightness <= 255; brightness++) {
/* Update DMX channel 1 to new brightness */DmxSimple.write(1, brightness);
/* Small delay to slow down the ramping */delay(10);
}
